So EW did a list of their 25 best characters on TV right now. I will list out the characters that made the cut for you to see. I also decided to go one step further and pick my favorite 5 of those listed. This was way harder than I anticipated but first here are the 25 in no particular order:
1. Frank Underwood – House of Cards
2. Selina Meyer – Veep
3. Sherlock Holmes – Sherlock
4. Alison Hendrix – Orphan Black
5. Arya Stark – Game of Thrones
6. Mindy Lahiri – The Mindy Project
7. Ichabod Crane – Sleepy Hollow
8. Mellie Grant – Scandal
9. Diane Lockhart – The Good Wife
10. Sophia Burset – Orange is the New Black
11. Roger Sterling – Mad Men
12. Ron Swanson – Parks & Recreation
13. Adam Sackler – Girls
14. Tina Belcher – Bob’s Burgers
15. Stephen Colbert – The Colbert Report
16. Ilana Wexler – Broad City
17. Captain Ray Holt – Brookly Nine-Nine
18. Sterling Archer – Archer
19. Boyd Crowder – Justified
20. Phil Dunphy – Modern Family
21. Louie C.K – Louie
22. Sue Heck – The Middle
23. Phillip Jennings – The American
24. Norma Bates – Bates Motel
25. Erlich Bachman – Silicon Valley
Ok, so those are the 25. I tried to decide what to base my criteria on. How great the character is being portrayed? How much I like the character? Who evokes the most emotion from me? Who is most enjoyable? I still came to no conclusion but these are the characters that stood out to me and I guess are my 5 favorites from the list (no particular order):
The menacing Frank Underwood from House of Cards
The bad bitch in charge in the formerly known as Lockhart & Gardner, Diane Lockhart
This has nothing to do with the fact that I am a Cumberbitch. This really is a fascinating character to watch. I mean who else can deliver a speech like the one found here – http://www.taynement.site/sherlocks-best-man-speech/
Roger Sterling is the comedic relief on an otherwise quite serious “Mad Men”. He refuses to grow up and it’s a delight for us to watch.
We’ve watched this tom boy grow as she faces tragedy upon tragedy. Arya Stark is a favorite of many on Game of Thrones.
So there’s my 5. It was a tough call. Some, I have to admit didn’t make it because I don’t watch the shows. Some of my runners up were Phillip Jennings, Alison Hendrix and Mellie Grant. Who would make your list? whether on this list or not?
